No wonder PRC state media seems particularly agitated today. India now joins fellow Asian powers Japan and ROK in supporting the 2016 SCS arbitral award. Thank you India. Your support adds a boost to international law. 🙏🏽🙏🏽 mea.gov.in/media-briefing…

This is just one example of what happens when papers issued by governments cannot be trusted; and when governments cannot be trusted to issue trustworthy papers.

Revenue Officials Among 10 Arrested in ₹100 Crore Land Scam Targeting Adichunchanagiri Trust Bengaluru The #Bengaluru City Police have arrested multiple individuals, including revenue officials, in connection with a massive land scam involving fake documents to usurp six acres of land worth over ₹100 crore belonging to the Sri #Adichunchanagiri Shikshana Trust. According to police, out of the 45 acres of land situated at Sr. No. 43 in Kambipura Village, Kengeri Hobli, #BengaluruSouth Taluk, the accused Francis colluded with revenue staff to illegally claim ownership of six acres. He falsely asserted that the land had been granted to one Arogyaswamy Bin Anthony under the ex-servicemen quota in 1960–61. Posing as Arogyaswamy’s heir, Francis fabricated a family tree, death certificate, cultivation grant certificate, and other records to register the Khata in his name. He then trespassed onto the Trust’s property, sparking a dispute. Following a complaint filed on June 10, 2026, by the Trust’s Secretary at Kumbalgodu Police Station, a case was registered , invoking multiple sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) 2023.A multi-dimensional investigation by Kengeri Police led to the arrest of Francis Arogyaswamy, Srinivasu, Narendrakumar and Jospen, along with Revenue Department officials: Deputy Tahsildars Deepak and M.P. Ravi; Revenue Inspectors Kiran Kumar and Arun Kumar; and Village Administrative Officers Shivaprasad and Satish Kumar. All have been remanded to judicial custody. Police said the alleged mastermind, Arogyaswamy, along with Naresh Gowda and revenue staff members Srikanth, Manjunath and Raghavendra, remain absconding. Police also uncovered evidence suggesting the accused attempted similar fraudulent takeovers of other properties using forged documents. Further investigation is underway. @DCPSOUTHWESTBCP @BlrCityPolice @DrParameshwara

Last week, I graduated with a PhD from @NUSingapore. Strangely, the thesis now feels like the smallest part of the journey. In practice-oriented professions such as law, medicine and engineering, a PhD is underrated. In fact, most people discount how a well designed and executed (and funded!) PhD program re-wires your brain. The program will teach you to slow down, ask better questions, embrace uncertainty, and change your mind when the evidence demands it. So, here's to being bold enough to wonder, enquire and discover.

@SandeepUnnithan & @palepurshankar discussed that INDIA NEEDS TO EXPAND & TRANSFORM ITS AIR DEFENCE OUTLOOK #India needs to modernize and expand its #AirDefense strategy to counter evolving threats from #neighboring nations. It needs to shift toward #OffensiveAirDefense that can strike enemy assets on their own territory, while simultaneously building a national air surveillance grid that integrates military and civilian sensors. The framework must include a robust #civil air defense system involving local police and state resources to protect the hinterland from long-range drones and missiles. India also needs a #TriService air defense command led by the #AirForce to unify fragmented capabilities and secure vital economic hubs and infrastructure. We must integrate civilian resources, generate local funding and incorporate advanced technology to create a more resilient national shield. India must prioritize this defensive-oriented restructuring to maintain strategic superiority and public safety in a complex conflict landscape. youtu.be/2UBuBchjCsY?si… via @YouTube

Economist were SHOCKED to find that well-ranked teams were given unfair advantages and favors over lower-ranked and untraditional teams by non-transparent decision-making process of a professional organization.
